In 2011, The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Acknowledged Cell Phone Radiation Affects Brain But Wasn’t Sure It Mattered Even Though Earlier Research Said It Did.

Whether it’s something to be concerned about or not remains to be seen.

“We don’t know that this is harmful,” researcher Nora Volkow, MD, director of the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Drug Abuse, tells WebMD.

and

So far, Volkow says, her new research shows that “the human brain is sensitive to the electromagnetic radiation that is delivered by cell phones.”

It’s worth noting that the 2011 results were based on 50 minutes of cell phone use.

In her study, she found those who used a cell phone for 50 minutes had about a 7% rise in glucose metabolism in the brain region closest to the antenna, as documented on PET (positron emission tomography) scans.

“What (cell phone and wireless) microwave radiation does … is similar to what happens to food in microwaves, essentially cooking the brain.

“Children’s skulls and scalps are thinner. So the radiation can penetrate deeper…(so the) impact of radiation can be much larger.”

Holy crap. “Cooking the brain” seems like it should matter. It did at least to comedian, Stephen Colbert.

Regardless, life went on and cell phones and other wireless devices continued to be heavily marketed to everyone including children, communities, medical facilities and professionals, and public schools despite the fact that

Regardless, life went on and cell phones and other wireless devices and infrastructure still continued to be heavily marketed to be used and exposed to for more than 5 minutes at a time everywhere 24/7.
